According to his caption, he hasn’t even earned half of what he’s set to receive: “$32,000,000.00 for 36 minutes. I’m waiting for the PPV numbers to come in so I can make another $38,000,000.00 on the back-end… making it a grand total of $70,000,000.00.”

It looks like Mayweather’s projection is going to come up quite a bit short, according to Forbes.com’s Kurt Badenhausen. Barring unexpectedly huge pay-per-view numbers, $70 million is not going to happen.

Although there are other sources of revenue, the pay-per-view numbers are going to have a big impact on his final paycheck. The pay-per-view numbers are expected to be released next week.
